Kosova: From the Darkest Spring - Testimony of War Crimes

When NATO troops advanced over the border to Kosva in the summer of 1999, it
became possible to investigate war crimes commited during campaign of ethnic
cleansing by Serbian authorities. Accompanying forensic pathologists from
Kosova's Commission for the Missing, Maira Warsinski, a Norwegian filmmaker,
filmed their work identifying victims and developing evidence for war crimes
trials. She documented people telling their stories of persecution and
massacre, and how they saw family members taken away. Many are still searching
for loved ones. Others are helping the pathologists with corpse
identification. The film documents three months of the UN's investigation in a
searing account of what happened in Kosova from March to July 1999.

Warsinski's first documentary, CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (1998), detailing the
destruction of Srebrenica through interviews with survivors, was shown at the
Human Rights Watch Film Festival in 1999. Warsinski will be present to discuss
her new Kosova film and place it in context at the screening.
